Hey, It's Okay Tuesday!

I got this idea from Glamour magazine. They have a section called Hey, It’s Okay and will list a bunch of things to be okay about. You're welcome to join in and do something like this on your blog. Doesn't have to be on a Tuesday either. Just make sure you link up and that the post you link up is a Hey, It's Okay Post. Grab the button if you'd like!

--To want that Play-Doh set that had something shaped like a penis. Apparently it "ruined" Christmas for some families. Seriously?! Uptight people confuse me.

--To have been happy to see my friend Jennifer when she was visiting family. I knew her from when we were in England. She lived across the street from me.

--To think it's funny that people are UPSET that Teresa from Real Housewives of New Jersey went to jail. Um, she broke the law? As I said before, I feel for her girls, but she deserves to be there. Sorry. Not sad.

--To have gone to see the new Annie over the weekend. It was good, but the original is better. You can see my review here.

--To be happy the kids are back in school. I love them so much, but I appreciate my quiet.

--To sometimes wonder if my husband is a secret agent--and then realize I've just been watching too many episodes of The Blacklist. (If you haven't seen it, you MUST. It's on Netflix.)

--To roll my eyes a bit at the people who post things like, "Why would anyone be happy that their kids are back in school? I love having mine around--always!"

--To have sent Natalie upstairs at regular time on New Year's Eve. Why? She was like this:

those parents who complained about the penis-shaped play doh thing are the same parents who post about loving having their kids around 24/7. lame. they need to chill out and get real about parenting! i mean, we all love our kids but let's be honest here -- having them around 24/7 would drive anyone insane.

A play doh set with a toy shaped like a penis would not ruin my Christmas. That's what I'm gonna ask Santa for. When my oldest was in 5th grade I went to school for a meet the teacher night. A parent was there moaning about how she would miss her daughter so much and could she come to the school everyday to volunteer so she could be near her daughter. Abbey just looked at me like crazy lady. I love mine but we all need alone time, them too.

I'm glad when Monday comes around because the kids and I are mutually sick of one another ;). Can you imagine the cabin fever that was the 2 weeks we spent together between Christmas and New Year's? My son's behavior is so much better now that aren't together 24 hrs a day.

My friend posted photos of his kid playing with that Playdough penis, on Facebook. It's so funny. Can't believe they didn't catch that mistake before shipping it out. I am so with you about the kids going back to school. I even wrote about it in my It's Okay Tuesday! Okay, you are like the 3 or 4th person recommending I watch Blacklisted. I am starting it tonight. :) Happy Tuesday!

I think it's totally okay, that your the type of blog that linked to a penis shaped toy...and I am the kind of reader that clicked the link. we work well together. :)Blacklist in on my Catch Up TV show list.

Raymond Reddington is AMAZING! LOVE LOVE LOVE that show! And the Play Doh thing - I died laughing. I totally see it, and do wonder why the toy makers didn't, or maybe they did... but anyway... parents just need to chill out. Enjoy the laugh every time the kid plays with it! AND AMEN on the school. I love my girl, but I like my schedule, and for her to be getting her learn on elsewhere sometimes!

So, this might shock you but I used to be such an uptight person - age has mellowed me a lot and now very little phases or shocks me:)When my boys were little I was ready for school to start back - now that they are older they are much more fun to be around. Plus the start of school means back to 5:00am wake-ups for me and I'm not really feeling that this week!!

--To roll my eyes a bit at the people who post things like, "Why would anyone be happy that their kids are back in school? I love having mine around--always!" <-- This is totally going to be when my daughter is old enough for school. I love her to no end, but I'm discovering that I'm a happier, better mom when I get to go to work and do a few other grown-up things on my own.

Haha! I love that you sometimes wonder if your husband is a secret agent lol! I definitely come up with believable and yet completely outlandish theories about things myself...maybe it's what happens to people that read a lot of books? Our minds go everywhere. And the whole play doh debacle was overhyped by the uptight- for sure.
